Re: Chaos Dwarf Updated - official news
Odnośnie kampanii Titan-Forge'a na Kicku, to oddziały będą całkiem nowe, dalej w klimacie steampunk robotów jednak warto poczekać jeszcze pare dni i zobaczyć koncepty. No i przede wszystkim warto w komentach pisać im co potrzeba, bo chłopaki są w trakcie robienia na bierząco, tak więc warto ich naprowadzić

Unlocked:Possessed Metal Beards! And some important info!
Well now, how about that! We reached our final goal for first stage of our campaign in three (THREE) days. We would say it's pretty damn impressive! And that's all thanks to your support - not only here, on kickstarter, but also on various forums and blogs regarding tabletop gaming! Huge THANK YOU to you guys & gals out there!
But, back to business! There is a slight change to the plan due to reaching our stretch goal! Our sculptor got a bit excited and finished two concept arts for the Possessed Metal Beards right away! Now, seeing how you were all fired up to see them, we decided to show them to you today, and the Mountain Crushers will have their moment of glory tommorow! How about that?
The rightly feared Possessed Metal Beards Warlock is an evil genious, in his own way! Creating wicked simulacra of their Metal Beards brothers, he proud himself in corrupting and defiling everything he touches! Wielding strange powers as his weapon, he is nigh unstoppable force of destruction!
Mighty Overlords of Possessed Metal Beards are a terrifying warriors. Mighty juggernaughts of death, deprived of feelings such as fear and compassion, they look only to stomp their enemies to the ground. They are often seen wearing strange masks - it is said they are holding the anger of the Overlord in check. Without them they enter a state of berserk, not recognising friend or foe, and slaying both of them withour remorse!
How do you like that little teaser of things to come? Be sure to leave your comments in the comment section!
Also, some of you asked for a little bigger add - on pledge for more points. We thought we should enable such option for you, and therefore:
YOU CAN NOW ADD 500 POINTS TO YOUR PLEDGE FOR THE COST OF 31 £!
The 3000 points pledge is still being discussed.

Update #8: Possessed Metal Beards - the idea behind!
In the workshops of Mother of Mountains the work never ceases. Engineers are tightening the last Dread Cannon screws, and are polishing the armour plates of the Mountain Crushers. But, at the same time, deep in the bowels of the mountain, Possessed Metal Beards are designing their own vehicles of destruction, which will, very soon, stand against their brethren.
You’ve already seen Possessed Metal Beards heroes, but the main body of their army, as in their cousins force, is created by ranks upon ranks of mechanical Metal Beards units. Sławek is working on their design very hard but we managed to get few good looks on his drawings, to give you a hint of what you could expect from evil beards!
Possessed Metal Beards are fueled not by coal, or steam, but by energy of the crystals, they mine deep in the Mother of Mountain. But the power comes with a price – the mysterious crystals are slowly corrupting the engineers, making them mad and evil. Thus, instead of furnace and steam boiler, you can find locks with some gems, emanating some strange light. The fume vents, shaped in hexagon, are also a distinctive feature, making the Possessed Metal Beards easy recognizable.
Possessed Metal Beards are more reckless and they don’t know the meaning of patience – which reflects in their mechanisms. You’ll see that their constructions are less symmetric, the parts are screwed together more random, and instead of ornaments, and heraldry – spikes, horns and unholy runes.
Heroes of Possessed Metal Beards are also engineers, so you’ll find a wrench or hammers attached to their belts, or sticking out of their bags. But they are fascinated by blades, so each of them was converted to not only tighten a loosed bolt, but also to cleave some unfortunate dwarf in half! In the end, as some smart barbarian said: “You can never have too many knives”.
If you like what you see, and would like to see more like, share and post!
Update #9: Mountain Crushers!
Time to get serious. Heavy armour? Checked. Cool, badass weapons, each almost as big as a grown man? Checked. Classy, and stylish design, with dynamic pose? Checked.
Yup, the Mountain Crushers have arrived!
To give you a bit more insight of how we create the Metal Beards, we wanted to show you a list of parts - be sure to check them out!
Whos next? Well, Dread Cannon shape is looming on the horizon...
Update #10
Dec 23, 2013
Dread Cannon madness!
Alright guys & gals! Time for some Dread Cannon showdown! Now, it's not a finished model yet. There are some parts that will be added, for example there will be a gunner seat placed next to the barrel itself. So the Dread Cannon will get some more attention, but it's ready to be shown and feel free to comment and share your opinion with us!
But to give you some more info we decided to add a little movie, so you can check out the gun from every angle! But, as always, we got some pictures of the famous artillery of the Metal Beards!
How do you like it? Please, remember it's not finished yet, but should be ready in no time!
AN IMPORTANT NEWS! NEW CONTEST ANOUNCED!
Bearing in mind how great you all folks did when designing the names for the regular Metal Beards, we decided to give you the same opportunity for the Possessed Metal Beards! We need a name for three units of evil, badass, rock and rolling, packed with awesome, corrupted dwarves. A light armoured, medium armoured and heavy armoured unit. Can you handle this level of badassory and emerge victorious?
YOUR PRIZE WILL BE A HERO OF YOU CHOOSING ALONG WITH A 10-MAN UNIT PROUDLY DISPLAYING NAME OF YOUR DESIGN!
You can post your answers on our facebook page, or in private messages (to keep it tidy!). Also, you can only come with one proposition for each unit - let's keep it fair - any posts or messages with more than one suggestion will not be rewarded!
Also, whole Titan Forge crew would like to wish you a merry christmas and a happy New Year! Let this time be full of epic battles, glorious victories and lots (and we mean LOTS!) of beards! Tommorow we're taking a day free - we are going to devour all those dumplings that were prepared on this celebration!
ALL BEST FROM TITAN FORGE IN 2014!
Hi there! Time for some update!
Despite having soome time free from work we managed to do some concept art of the Standard Bearer hero for the evil Metal Beards:
The Possessed Standard Bearer will come with a few choices of equipment. The one you can see above comes with a hand weapon and a shield, but we also plan to give him a two - handed weapon. Also, you can see a gas mask on his face - we also think about making that an option, like for a Possessed Overlord.
Sławek is currently working very hard on more concept arts - they should appear soon!
We also hope you have a great christmas, with lots of food and cool presents! We sure have lots of food...

Titan forge pisze:Possessed Metal Beards are taking some shape right now. Right now we experiment with differend looking heads trying to pick the best one. One of the most important piece of the new models are their helmets. Simple, yet clearly “corrupted”, they visibly distinguish the Possessed Metal Beards from their rightful counterparts. Also, you can check the much desired “chain beards” – that’s a tribute to our backers and supporters – thanks folks! That said, the corrupted “feel” of this models is very strong with only helmets done. Now imagine the rest of the model – spiked shoulder pads, maybe some chainmail, skulls and crystals etc. Which one You like the most? Be sure to leave a comment either here or in comments section!
As you can see, corruption takes deep root in Sons of Kashan Vra. Although there is a visible similarity to the Metal Beards, the horns, the deamonic faces, skulls and last but not least - the terrifying masks. Also, where the Metal Beards use the round, classic shields, the Sons of Kashan Vra are known for proudly displaying their gruesome trophies on their guards. Corrupted shields are often forged into shapes of the demonic jaws, and are even known to cackle maniacally on occasions. The other distinction is the usage of weapons. Metal Beards prefer simple and "regal" dwarf weapon - axe, maul and hammer. Sons of Kashan Vra are much more individual - scythes, flails, morgernsterns and so on. The more deadly the better. Which in fact, reflects a motto of Sons of Kashan Vra. How do you like the first approach to corrupted brethrens of Mother of the Mountain?
JUż skomentowałem na fb - kilku bym przygarnął na inżynierów A little delayed, the fearsome Dread Reapers finally arrived! Their weapon of choice is a massive, two - handed scythe. Those corrupted blades, known as "Reapers" (hence the name), are almost unstoppable. They can effotlessly cleave in half fully armoured opponent in a blink of an eye. But even the best blade can do nothing without it's master. And Dread Reapers are real virtuosos of their craft. Skilled both on the offensive as on the defensive, they are a terrifying opponents to face. They march, ever forward, their "Reapers" striking rapidly and without pause. After the battle, you can easily track where the Dread Reapers charged - bodies cleaved in half, limbs cut off, and a stench of death - those marks can't be confused with anything else.
As you can see, they indeed look like dread incarnate! To tell you the truth, one of our favourite piece of the Sons of the Kashan Vra are their chain beards. Beards are cool. But chain beards - that's new level of cool. And it's great that this idea was proposed by you our backers and supporters! That's the crowdfunding at it's finest!
With the Dread Reapers revealed, we would like to inform you about our plans and decisions for incoming units and add - ons.
1. There will be upgrade set including different weapons choices in form of an Add - on. The point cost is still being discussed, but the quantity will propably 10 pieces per upgrade set.
2. Elite infrantry models (40 mm square bases) will be available for both Metal Beards and Sons of Kashan Vra ranges.
The models will be quite different, so we decided to give each range a proper unit instead of one kit for both ranges. We can already give you a little spoiler - the Metal Beards elite infrantry suit will wield a massive drill as one of it's weapons. That's an idea we got from one of our backers - drills FTW!
3. Infernal Golem of Kashan Vra will be exclusive for Sons of Kashan Vra range.
Thats propably bad news for some of our backers. We had a long and thourough discussion about it and finally we came to one conclusion. That doing one kit, fitting both ranges would compromise the final appearance of the model. And we certainly can't do that, as we wish that the Infernal Golem to be on par with other our similar products - Drakskull on Throne of Death and Undead Wyvern. Also, we thought about the solution similar to the elite infrantry unit mentioned in point 2. However, creating two models the size of Infernal Golem would take a lot of time - and in result - delays. And we wouldn't wish to make you wait for the miniatures longer than necessary. Also, we think that the model itself should be fairly easy to convert.
As always, let us know what are your thoughts, and leave a comment!
